application filed May 3.7, 1916, Serial No. 98,223.

vented certain new and useful Improvements in Globe-Holders, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in globeholders,.and'particularly to such as are intended to suspend a globefrom or to support a globe on top of a lamp post. I

The chief object of this invention is to provide a globe holder adaptedto securely and tightly clamp the rim of a globe with out the danger ofbreaking or otherwise damaging it, the holder being further adapted toprevent the-globe from being vibrated by the wind and to make a watertight joint between the globe and its support.

Nith the above and related objects in view, my invention comprises theconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafterdescribed, a practical application whereof is illustrated in theaccompanying drawing, and is embraced within the scope of the appendedclaims.

In. the said drawing:l igure 1 illustrates my improved holder inconnection with a globe suspended from a lamp post; Fig. 2 is anenlarged fragmentary section of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a. perspective view ofa section of the holder shown in Fig. 1; Fig. -it is a plan view of theholder, and Fig. 5 is an open View of the holder.

Referring more 3ai.'ticularly to the drawing for a detail. descriptionof my invention, 6 represents a portion of a lamp post provided with anoverhanging lamp 7, 8 represents an inclosing globe, 9 represents theglobe holder, 10 represents an annular flange of the post surroundingthe seat of the rim 11 of the globe.

The holder @"is in the shape of a split channeled ring joined. by ahinge 12, one portion of the holder carrying a latch 13 and the othercarrying a catch it. Each half of the holder comprises a base 15, anouter upright flange l6 and an inner flared flange 17. The outer flange16 is provided with bayonet slots 18 adapted to register with bolts 19carried by the flange oi the post.

The base of the holder is adapted to close about the bight of the globewith its flange 1'? about a packing 2O surrounding the flared rim of theglobe. When the holder is thus closed to carry the globe, it is adaptedto receive the flange of the post between its own flanges with the bolts19 projected through the bayonet slots of the flange 16 and to beclamped by the wing nuts 21.

The holder is also adapted to be suspended from the post by a chain 22to gain access to the interior of globe.

Having thus described my inventiomwhat I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A globe holder comprising a channeledring provided with bayonet slots on the outer side of the channel, thetop of the channel being narrower than its bottom, said ring consistingof two semicircular parts joined by a hinge at one end and provided withmeans for'connecting and disconnectin the ends opposite the hinge. v

2. The combination of a lamp post provided with an annular flange and aglobe carrier provided with a channel. for the post flange and withflanges on opposite sides of i the post flange, the outer flange of thecarrierbeing adapted to be joined with the post flange, said carrierconsisting of two parts hinged together at one end, said parts beingadapted to close aboutthe rim of the globe, and means for joining theparts to hold the globe.

The combination of a lamp post provided with an annular flange and aglobe provided with a rim adapted to be surround: ed by the dance, aglobe carrier COIlSlSbIDg of two sectors hinged together at one en andadapted to close about the rim of the globe, means for joining thesector at the opposite end. .to prevent the release of the globe, saidcarrier provided with a channel for the post flange and with. anexterior flange surrounding the post flange, and

means for joining said flanges.

l. The combination of a lamp post 3130- vided with a seat surrounded byl flan re and a globe provided with a flaring rim or the seat of thepost, a holder consisting of two sectors hinged together at one end andadapted to close about the rim of the globe and means for joining thesectors to hold the gldbe, said holder provlded with an 1nner fiangeadapted to close about the rim of In testimony whereof I have signedthis the globe and with an outer flange adapted specification in thepresence of two subto surroundv the flange. of the post, said scribingWitnesses.
